    He said the N word on stream, in a “heated gamer moment”. I have never ever said that word in private or otherwise, leading me to believe that is not his first time or last.

    He paid poor people in India on fiver to hold a sign saying “kill the jews”

    In his apology video he wore a shirt with a fucking iron cross on the collar.

    He is a Nazi and to continue to hem and haw about whether he is or isn’t is exactly what crypto fascist losers like him want you to do.

    PewDiePie is a Nazi. Stop carrying water for Nazis.

      He also used to follow a ton of open white supremacist NAZIS on Twitter like Laura Southern and that guy who got punched in the face. People screenshotted it and he noticed and privated his follows. That was many years ago. But you don’t follow open Nazis if you’re just some gamer dude (if he was some sort of respectable journalist you could have an excuse of having a newsworthiness angle but he followed them because he liked their posts because he is a NAZI).

      I think he’s more greedy than committed to bringing about Nazi goals so is somewhat careful about not exposing too much of that part of himself but he’s part of the white supremacist gamergate to white supremacist streamers pipeline and should be called a Nazi until they day he 1) admits he was a Nazi, 2) disavows that. 3) disavows other Nazi gamer streamers who exist in his “edgelord space” 4) becomes openly progressive and goes out of his way to denounce and attack fascists and white supremacy. Until that day he should be assumed to still be a Nazi.
